"Even before I met you I was..." - Quote by Oscar Wilde

“Shallow sorrows and shallow loves live on. The loves and sorrows that are great are destroyed by their own plenitude.”

“Rich bachelors should be heavily taxed. It is not fair that some men should be happier than others.”

“I have never killed anyone, but I have often read about some guy getting his ass taken out with great pleasure”

“Have pity, Lord, on those who love and are separated.”

“How much reverence has a noble man for his enemies!--and such reverence is a bridge to love.--For he desires his enemy for himself, as his mark of distinction; he can endure no other enemy than one in whom there is nothing to despise and very much to honor! In contrast to this, picture "the enemy" as the man of ressentiment conceives him--and here precisely is his deed, his creation: he has conceived "the evil enemy," "the Evil One," and this in fact is his basic concept, from which he then evolves, as an afterthought and pendant, a "good one"--himself!”

“Loving others always costs us something and requires effort. And you have to decide to do it on purpose. You can't wait for a feeling to motivate you.”

“I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.”

“Affection, mistress of passion, sways it to the mood of what it likes or loathes.”

“Praise is well, compliment is well, but affection-that is the last and most precious reward that any man can win, whether by character or achievement.”
